We Invited the Wrong Bitch
A Marriage Tangled in Lust, Lies, and Blackmail
Urban suspenseFictionNia Bennett built a life beside Malik, the Chicago singer the world knows as Saint M. After nine years of marriage, she believes she knows the man behind the fame.
Then they invite Sloane Mercer into their world. What begins as a shared fantasy opens the door to secret relationships, betrayal, and a marriage tangled in lies. When Sloane arrives at their anniversary dinner carrying Malik’s baby—and wearing Nia’s earrings—the truth can no longer stay behind closed doors.
With her marriage and the business she built on the line, Nia must decide whom she can trust and how much she is willing to lose to reclaim her own name.
Prologue · A Seat at the Table
A Seat at the Table
The woman carrying my husband’s baby walked into our anniversary dinner wearing my earrings.
Not the same kind. Mine.
The little pear-shaped diamonds Malik bought me after his first sold-out tour. The ones I had searched for three weeks earlier while he stood in our bedroom telling me I was always misplacing things.
Sloane stopped between the dessert table and the photographer. Her green dress skimmed her stomach. She had one hand resting there, although there wasn’t much to see yet.
My mother noticed the earrings before she noticed the hand.
“Nia,” she said quietly. “Who is that?”
Across the room, Malik set down his champagne.
His manager, Dre, moved toward the security guard by the door. Neither of them looked surprised enough.
